A spellbinding psychological thriller and a masterpiece of adolescent perspective, from the internationally acclaimed author of Some Great Thing and Black Dove

A place of pressure and contradictions, St. Ebury is an exclusive Ottawa boarding school, a mixed school with only a handful of girls.
Fall is the most beautiful. At night the campus hums with thoughts of her. Noel, a clever loner, spends his time watching her, certain that one day Fall will come to know him deeply. But like everyone else she is drawn to Julius, the magnetic son of the American ambassador.
In their final year the two boys room together, and Noel’s boisterous enthusiasm becomes something darker as he imagines himself the confidant of his popular roommate. While Julius experiences the joys and absurdities of daily life, Noel recounts, from a distance of many years, the consequences of his attempts to enter Fall’s life.
An unforgettable story of guilt, memory, and confused identity, Fall is a work of power, searing ambition, and pitch-perfect observation.
